Who is your neighbor?

That was the question that Jesus asked the proud, arrogant lawyer. The man said that he'd kept the law. The man said that he'd loved his neighbor as himself. But Jesus knew better. Jesus knew that was only true if he neutered the word of any meaning. 

And so Jesus asked him, "who is your neighbor?"

Join us as we consider the parable of the 'Good Samaritan' in Luke 10.

Questions That We'll Answer:
A) Why did the lawyer try to test Jesus in Verse 25?
B) What was a 'Samaritan,' and what was their reputation?
C) What does Biblical 'mercy ministry' look like to those in need?

The Good Samaritan: Who Is Your Neighbor?

They meant it for evil. But God used it for good.

In Genesis 45, Joseph's brothers stood before him - brothers that had once sold him off to slave traders, and then told their father that he was dead. They had acted wickedly! And in a 'twist of fate,' their lives were now in his hands.

But was it really a 'twist of fate?' Was their encounter just an amazing coincidence? That will be the focus of today's study.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What is 'providence,' and how does that word apply to Gen. 45?

B) Why didn't Joseph exact revenge, when given the opportunity?

C) What was God's purpose in the events of Joseph's life?

Genesis: God's Providence In Evil's Path

In Genesis 40, Joseph was in prison.

Now, he did not deserve to be there. He'd done nothing wrong. And he must have wondered what part his shackles played in God's plans. Hadn't God given him a dream of a great and glorious future? Well, in today's text, two other men would have dreams - and their interpretation would play a huge role in Joseph's story.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What were the dreams of the Butler and Baker all about?

B) Did these men deserve to be in jail? What had they done?

C) What would the outcome of their dreams mean for them and Joseph?

Genesis: Dreams In The Darkness

Joseph's story started poorly.

Within moments of being introduced in Scripture, Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers. And not long after, he found himself in prison. So, where was God when calamity struck? That will be the focus of today's study in Genesis 37.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) Why did Joseph's brothers hate him so much?

B) Why did God allow Joseph to face so many hardships?

C) Where is God when our own circumstances grow dark?
